 ## Experiments lifecycle
 
-Any experimental feature will be removed from `haystack-experimental` after a period of 3 months. After this time,
-the experiment will be either:
-- Merged into Haystack core and published in the next minor release
-- Released as a Core Integration,
+Each experimental feature has a default lifespan of 3 months starting from the date of the first non-pre-release build 
+that includes it. Once it reaches the end of its lifespan, the experiment will be either:
+- Merged into Haystack core and published in the next minor release, or
+- Released as a Core Integration, or
 - Dropped.
